What your process engineer actually checks

Printable rheology, real fired properties

The paste has to extrude cleanly and hold its shape during printing, then deliver the ceramic's real strengths after debind and sinter — heat resistance, mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance and electrical insulation. We tune both the rheology and the firing schedule, and account for shrinkage, so the printed part meets spec.

About this product

These Sygnis Ceramic Pastes are formulated for Direct Ink Writing (DIW) — paste extrusion — to produce heat-resistant, high-strength, electrically insulating ceramic parts. The range spans alumina (Al₂O₃), yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), zirconia (ZrO₂), silicon carbide (SiC), aluminosilicate and titania (TiO₂), each with a printable rheology that lets you build shapes — and even print seals directly onto flat or corrugated surfaces.

Why engineers choose these ceramic DIW pastes

The ceramic properties you need, in a paste tuned to print.

Six ceramic chemistries

Al₂O₃, YSZ, ZrO₂, SiC, aluminosilicate and TiO₂ — pick the chemistry for wear, toughness, thermal shock, dielectric or high-temperature stability.

Rheology tuned for DIW

Paste properties are set for reliable extrusion and shape retention, so beads hold, layers stack and fine features stay crisp during printing.

Heat, strength & insulation

After debind and sinter you get the ceramic’s real strengths — heat resistance, mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation.

Print directly onto surfaces

DIW lets you form seals and multilayer coatings straight onto flat or corrugated components — proven on solid-oxide-cell stack sealing (HydroGEN).

How Additive Plus supports it

You get paste matched to your printer and your fired-property targets — not a generic tube.

Step 01
Match the chemistry & rheology

We help select the ceramic and tune the paste to your DIW printer, nozzle and part — from fine features to surface sealing.

Step 02
Print

Extrude the paste on your DIW system, including directly onto flat or corrugated surfaces and as multilayer builds.

Step 03
Debind & sinter support

We help set the debind and sinter schedule and account for shrinkage so the fired part hits your target properties.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Which ceramic chemistries are available as DIW pastes?
Six chemistries are available as Direct Ink Writing pastes: alumina (Al₂O₃) for insulation and wear resistance, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) for thermal and chemical stability, zirconia (ZrO₂) for fracture toughness, silicon carbide (SiC) for hardness and chemical resistance, aluminosilicate for high-temperature thermal-shock resistance, and titania (TiO₂) for dielectric and optical uses. Additive Plus helps you match the chemistry to your part.
How is a DIW paste different from ceramic filament or resin?
Direct Ink Writing extrudes a ceramic paste through a nozzle and relies on the paste's rheology to hold its shape after deposition. Unlike bound-ceramic filament (FFF) or ceramic resin (SLA/DLP), DIW can print directly onto existing surfaces — flat or corrugated — and build multilayer structures such as seals. All three routes still require debind and sinter to reach final ceramic properties.
Do the pastes require debinding and sintering?
Yes. Like all ceramic additive manufacturing, DIW-printed parts are debound to remove the organic binder and then sintered to densify the ceramic, which is where heat resistance, strength and insulation come from. The part shrinks during sintering, so the design must account for it. Additive Plus helps set the debind and sinter schedule and the shrinkage allowance for your chemistry and geometry.
Can I print seals directly onto a component?
Yes — that is a core strength of DIW. The paste can be extruded directly onto flat and corrugated surfaces and built up in multiple layers to form a seal of the required thickness. This was demonstrated in the HydroGEN project, where glass-ceramic seals for solid-oxide-cell stacks were printed directly onto stack elements — a low-cost, waste-free method with high repeatability.
What applications are these pastes used for?
Common uses are high-temperature seals and gaskets — engine cylinder-head gaskets, autoclave and reactor seals, chemical-pump and industrial-oven gaskets, packaging-machine and high-temperature electronics gaskets — plus refractory and structural ceramic parts and solid-oxide-cell stack sealing. The right chemistry depends on whether you need wear resistance, toughness, thermal-shock resistance, insulation or chemical resistance.
Can you formulate a custom composition or pack size?
Yes. The pastes are supplied per configuration — composition, rheology and pack size are set to your DIW printer and application. If your part needs a tailored chemistry or a specific fired property, our materials engineer will work with you on the formulation and, where useful, run a trial print before you commit to a batch.
How do I order, and what is the lead time?
Ceramic DIW pastes are supplied per configuration, so pricing, pack size and lead time are confirmed at quote. Tell Additive Plus your part, the property you need and your DIW printer, and our materials engineer will recommend the chemistry, tune the paste and share handling and firing guidance. Samples for trial prints are available. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
